Where to Buy Kombucha in the Boston Area

So you live around the Boston area, and you don't have time to deal with the weekly SCOBY cycles, you don't have a kombucha mushroom, you are waiting for your brew to finish, or for whatever reason you need your Kombucha tea fix NOW. Where do you go? Here are all the places that I know of in the area that sell Kombucha tea. If you can think of any another places that I've left out, please let me know!

The brand I end up buying will vary under the circumstances. Also, because I brew my own, I tend not to buy KT. But here are my pros/cons:

-Katalyst:-Pros- it's local, fair trade, and generally the cheapest. I also want to buy their half gallon jug! I think the jug would be useful for making some kombucha wine or hard cider.-GT's:-I like how they have Kombucha made from unrefined/fruit sugars (vs. cane juice, as in the other brands). It's the most easily accessible and has the most variety of flavors. From the taste, I feel that this brand has the highest quality of the 4. However, GT's is definitely strong and it's taste is distinct from the other 3. -Con: Their bottles would be great if their caps didn't rust!!-High Country- -Pros: It's fair trade. Their bottles are reusable since their caps are plastic!-Kombucha Wonder Drink- -Con: it's pasteurized.

All of these brands are organic. All of them taste good, but GT's definitely tastes the most different, while the other 3 taste like something I could brew on my own.

Personally, I usually go for Katalyst Kombucha or GT's Synergy, which are the two most easily accessible brands in my area. Katalyst Kombucha because it's local and for it's price, and GT's for it's quality and unrefined sugars.
